APPENDIX B: DETAILED SAFETY, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND REGULATORY INFORMATION
e AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. •
Use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.
Do not use an auto adapter DC power cable connected via either an •
automobile cigarette lighter adapter or an empower-type connector in
vehicles with high voltage (24 VDC), such as commercial transport vehicles.
Portable Device Battery Safety
A damaged battery may pose a risk of personal injury. Damage may include
impact or shock that dents or punctures the battery, exposure to a ame, or other
deformation. Do not disassemble the battery. Handle a damaged or leaking battery
pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the
cells or re may result which may cause personal injury.
WARNING: When installing an outside antenna system, exercise extreme
care to prevent the antenna system from touching power lines or circuits,
as contact with them may be fatal.
Do not expose (store or place) your computer or battery pack to a heat source such
as a radiator, replace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance
or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 65º C (149º F). When heated to
excessive temperatures, battery cells could vent or explode, posing risk of re.
TV Antenna Safety Instructions
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other light or power circuits, or where it can fall into power lines or
circuits.
If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure that the antenna system
is grounded in order to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Consult with your local electrical codes for information regarding
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna discharge unit, connection of grounding electrodes, and requirements for
grounding electrodes.
For users/installers in the United States – Article 810.21 of the United States
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure of an outside antenna
system, grounding of the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of the antenna discharge unit, connection of
grounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrodes.
WARNING: For CATV system installers – Section 820.93 of the National
Electric Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70:2005 (for US/Canada), and/or EN60728-
11:2005 standard (for the European Union), provides guidelines for proper
grounding and species that the coaxial cable shield shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
For users/instal lers in the EU member countries – EN60728-11: 2005 provides
information with regard to separation of antenna from electrical power distribution
systems, protection from atmospheric over-voltages, protection of the antenna
system, earthing and bonding of antenna systems, and mechanical stability of
outdoor antennas, including the size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna discharge unit, connection of grounding electrodes, and requirements for
grounding electrodes.
